Everybody knows my name For better or for worse And everybody wants to know When you're down and if it hurts And I admit that some of what they read Might be true But no one cares about the truth No matter what you do I this hard country In this hard land I've been rising up and falling down again In this hard country It this hard land And no one will ever understand If you're honest you will pay the dues So you gotta hide your heart Keep your secrets to yourself Deep down in the dark Don't look back there's nothing there Keep the wolfs at bay Whatever you've done in the past, you can't Make it go away I this hard country In this hard land I've been rising up and falling down again In this hard country It this hard land And no one will ever understand I this hard country In this hard land I've been rising up and falling down again In this hard country It this hard land And no one will ever understand And no one will ever understand
